lonely this christmas

drenched deep in sadness
falling into shadows
salted water
rising from
the deepest ocean
burning down
the cheeks

softest feeling
breaking inside
drinking from
the cup of darkness
most painful
of all emotions
a broken heart

alone a nightmare
the mind breaking
fried sleepless
shattering one dream
howling from the soul
gritting teeth
at pain
in this cruel world

the heart sinks
towards hell
a lonely Christmas
light of love
burning one candle
searching space
sending warmth
through a prayer
thanking him

stirring darkness
into the light
cold howling winds
clouds within nightmares
windows of dreams misted
fingers drawing
love tears

the deepest being
that once saw
a soft light
smiled with happiness
when it butterfly waltzed
with every beat

dreams where so beautiful
they where fairytales
shooting stars
where wishes granted
my Christmas
cried myself
to sleep
destiny filled with emotion
feelings shadows loneliness
in the horizon of my dreams

I truly wonder darkhorse, how many actually spend Christmas alone...I think it is far greater than most imagine.
Beautiful poetry ...and I will miss you...Kathy teddybear

Hi, darkhorse555,
One drenched deep in sadness moment flows howling from the soul through the poet's pen onto paper and, like tears, is followed by other powerful images of loneliness' despair. lonely this christmas is a magnificent poem and its sharing is a much-appreciated gift. Thank you for sharing.

hug hug holds him tight, sometimes you just need to walk way and find yourself again, you have so much to give dont waste it on someone who can't see that, please be safe and come back soon.
when you stop looking sometimes love finds you lips lips kiss

liam i know this type of christmas very well as the majority of mine are spent alone. I wish you all the luck in the world in your new endevers

Darkhorse a truly poignant wording of ones feelings of hurt and loss, we both going through a similar process so can understand the hurting we feel and yes being alone this time of year brings out our emotions and we feel this even more. Be safe, each of us will heal in time so all we can do for now is use our words.

Hi Liam,
I can relate bro..I was alone with no lady company as well..It hurts when one is a romantic such as you and I..I think a lot of people besides me appreciate you being here..Just continue to write as it acts as a catharsis as such..Share your art..

A heartfelt write by the way..

Your friend,

Kentyping

You are not alone with such feelings my friend. I haven't been able to write anything because life has been so bitter for me. But as Ken rightly said, keep on sharing your art. This was moving Liam.

I say the same to you Liam as I said to MM, just keep expression all those emotions on to the paper, a poets plight I call it. Leaving is not going to improve things, all the while you can write then do so, a sad but lovely poem.
We wwho live on our emotions find it harder especially at so called special times of the year.

Dearest Liam,

This is such a heartfelt poem, I feel for you.


Christmas and New Year is a time when many people feel lonely, it does pass... 
I know my words will not comfort you, or will you find comfort if you stop writing poetry. If you do not write, your soul will die, you must keep it alive with your beautiful poems that bring so much pleasure to us poets.
Take a break by all means.

It is well known that writing Poetry has always been an outlet for feelings of loneliness; you may have a great poem in you just waiting to come out.
Remember the greatest writers in history suffered from lonliness and depression. Many people do write better poetry when that ache of lonliness reaches deep into their soul.

Much love Chrissie teddybear hug purple heart

Good morning DH all of us get lonely. I get your poem. Sometimes loneliness it aches so bad you just want it to stop. You wish you had a pause button to let you have a break from the pain and emptiness. You reach out to other to talk to them yet no relief in site. The only thing that will help from loneliness caused by the heart is time. Do not rush it you must go through and that my friend i am sorry. I can tell you it get easier. Holidays are the loneliest time of the year. I got so depressed(lonely) this year i could not put up a tree, but i encouraged myself to attend some church and family functions. I pray you find peace somewhere somehow. Try something you would normally not do to pull you out of it. I have been told it works.teddybear cheers
